Pain in your chest, ribs, back, shoulders and neck may result from a pulled rib muscle, and can result in a temporary inability to lift objects or bend at the waist. Your upper body muscles may feel weak and tender after pulling a rib muscle, as a result of small tears in the muscles and tendons.
Rib pain is often due to injury such as strained or broken ribs or pulled muscles and tendons. Diseases and conditions of organs and tissues in your chest, such as the lungs, heart and stomach, can result in chest pain that may be difficult to distinguish from rib pain caused by conditions of the ribs.
